Both density‐ and frequency‐dependent effects determine plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem
We tested the hypothesis that both density‐ and frequency‐dependent interactions play important roles in determining plant growth in a dune heath ecosystem at several levels of available nitrogen. Plant growth was measured using the pin‐point method in a five‐block experiment with four nitrogen levels.

Bridging Human and Plant Adaptations for Climate Resilience
Climate change is transforming agriculture through both gradual shifts and increasingly unpredictable extremes, challenging farmers' ability to protect crops and livelihoods. This study brings together farmer experiences and plant adaptation strategies to explore how people and plants respond to similar climate pressures.

Mechanistic Learning for Predicting Survival Outcomes in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
ABSTRACT We employed a mechanistic learning approach, integrating on‐treatment tumor kinetics (TK) modeling with various machine learning (ML) models to address the challenge of predicting post‐progression survival (PPS)—the duration from the time of documented disease progression to death—and overall survival (OS) in Head and Neck Squamous Cell ...

Redefining Optimal Coverage Path Planning for FLS‐Equipped AUVs With Deep Reinforcement Learning
ABSTRACT Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have emerged as indispensable tools for a variety of subsea tasks, from habitat monitoring and seabed mapping to infrastructure inspection and mine countermeasures. A fundamental challenge in this field is Coverage Path Planning (CPP), the problem of ensuring complete and efficient area coverage.

Multi-State Models for Panel Data: The msm Package for R [PDF]
Panel data are observations of a continuous-time process at arbitrary times, for example, visits to a hospital to diagnose disease status. Multi-state models for such data are generally based on the Markov assumption.

Integrating Image Segmentation and Deep Learning to Improve Radio Frequency Propagation Models
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a multi‐sensor approach to improve radio frequency (RF) propagation models, which play a key role in the rapidly expanding field of connected vehicle technology. Focusing on the 1‐ to 20‐GHz frequency range, which is critical for both satellite‐to‐vehicle and base station‐to‐vehicle communications, our study introduces a ...

Network Latency Estimation for Telesurgery Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Overview of the proposed two‐stage deep reinforcement learning framework for network latency prediction in telesurgery. The pipeline includes data collection from simulated catheter navigation sessions (Philippines–Botswana), feature engineering, DQN‐based direction prediction (85.8% accuracy), direction‐to‐value transformation, and value forecasting ...

DQN‐Guided Subset‐Induced OCSVM Kernel Approximation for Imbalanced Anomaly Detection
Anomaly detection under limited normal data remains a fundamental challenge due to severe class imbalance and scarcity of anomalies. We propose a novel framework that reformulates support vector selection in One‐Class SVM as a sequential decision‐making problem.

Estimating crippling loss from hunting with multistate models: a case study on northern bobwhites
Hunting as a recreational pursuit provides an important ecosystem service worldwide. Harvest management plays a vital role in regulating wildlife take to ensure long‐term population sustainability and meet value‐based objectives (e.g. hunter satisfaction). However, managers rarely have complete control or observability of harvest mortality.
